Israel sacks 2 commanders over killing of Brit aid workers admitting IDF ‘mistakenly assumed Hamas thugs inside trucks’

ISRAEL has sacked two army commanders over the death of six aid workers who were killed by an IDF strike in Gaza this week.

An investigation into their deaths concluded that the first strike was sent over mistaken intelligence that Hamas terrorists were inside the convoy.

The IDF investigation said the second and third hits that followed were “grave mistakes”.

The deaths of the six charity workers, which included three Brits, on Monday night sparked fury around the world.

A rogue IDF unit called in multiple drone strikes on a convoy of three aid vehicles, belonging to World Central Kitchen (WCK), travelling along Gaza’s coast road.

The three pinpoint hits killed seven charity workers who were delivering food aid to starving Gazans.

The British victims included a former SBS special forces hero John Chapman, 57, ex-Royal Marine James Henderson, 33, and former Rifleman James Kirby, 47.

Also killed were an Australian, a Pole, an American-Palestinian and a Canadian-Palestinian.
